Going off track always started with something SMALL... 🍷A glass of wine
🍪 A cookie or two
🍕A piece of pizza
And the next thing I knew I had made my way through that bottle of wine, through the cookie jar and then topped it off with a pizza🍕🍕🍕 Because it was always about the GUILT.
I'd been strict ALL week and those foods were "bad" so if I had even a taste, I would feel SO horrible that I would eat my way through all of it. I would throw away my progress and need to have a HUGE reset.
Labelling foods "good" or "bad" was a recipe for feeling like a constant failure...lack of feeling in control and like my emotional eating would always get the BEST of me.
So when I found a nutrition program that tackled emotional eating, it meant:
💕 No more counting calories
💕 No more cutting out food groups
💕 Not having a meltdown when I had a treat
💕 No more pity-parties or feeling like I didn't have anyone in my corner
Because I met Ilana in February (*the registered dietician & nutrition expert who created this program) and had used these principles to lose 100lbs...She created the program out of tried and true methods that helped her lose the weight and keep it off.
So if you feel like this is what's been MISSING all this time....

I remember constantly thinking that there was a secret. A secret to weight loss. A secret to growing a successful business. A secret to being a leader & in the top of the company.
And over the years, I've learned 2 things.
1- You have to be willing to start. You can't sit back & wonder about the secrets. Wonder if you could do it. Wonder if you're good enough. You just have to start. You don't have to know everything, you just have to be willing to put one foot in front of the other.
2- Don't quit when it gets hard. When I started my business I was in no position to be a coach— I was lost, we were living with no parents and i couldn’t see past breastfeeding and sleepless nights. But I didn't quit. When I had Anderson and was deep in PPD with 40+ pounds to lose—no emotional position to coach, but I didn't quit. Stay in it when it gets hard. Forward is still forward.
Last week I was surrounded by HUNDREDS of successful and beautiful TOP coaches in our company.... Tomorrow I get to be part of a lucky 12... spending the next 3 days, and then an additional 2 more days, learning & growing with the best of the best...don't let yourself say "I wish that was me" or "must be nice" Take ownership & say "That WILL BE me". I am no one special, I've had setbacks & heartbreaks & struggles. Nothing sets me apart from you. Level playing field. So, will you be with me next year?? 💗

I could tell you all of the things you would expect to hear that would go with this before & after picture...
—
How many inches she lost... How much fat loss she experienced... How many sizes she dropped...
Or how much less she "should" hate her body in the 2nd photo as per society's unrealistic & screwed up expectations..,
—
But I won't because none of that reflects her whole body transformation 💙
—
Here's what I will tell you about what ACTUALLY DOES MATTER...
—
Her body was working out and doing amazing things BEFORE we started this journey. She was already strong. —
Her mindset was on track to changing her life, but she needed a bit more accountability.
—
And all of this ACTUALLY created a space for me to LOVE on her, cheer her on when she needed it, but mostly just BE THERE as her coach. She did the work.
—
And that's where the magic lies. Showing up to prove you ARE capable of great things. But having a fierce tribe next to you cheering you on instead of comparing numbers and putting a deadline on your wellness journey.
—
If you want to know what workouts she did, what types of foods she ate, and how Jamie was able to see these results, you'll want to join me in my next bootcamp.

#wellnesswednesday
Colds have already hit the classrooms and its only 2nd week of school. 🤗I start my school aged kiddo off every morning with a super C and a pack of mighty pro. On the days i dont have mightypro I prefer garden of life Raw Kids probiotic 👌 but mightypro has more cultures. 👅A few sprays of colloidal silver in the mouth. Dont know what that is? Google benefits of colloidal silver. This spray is specifically made for kiddos. 💪 a few swipes of the wellness roller on bottoms of both feet and along the spine.
Along with these things I try really hard to get as many nutrient dense foods in them as possible. Smoothies and "shakes" with hidden veggies and goodies like flax and chia. 🧠brain food. Yummy. 👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊 What is in your wellness regimen for your kiddos?

Maybe it started that way...but to be honest...I’m lying by ommission.😳 I don’t *just* do this for me. 💙I do it for the littles at my feet this afternoon watching me grunt through a hard set.
💙I do it for my husband who needs encouragement every. single. day.
💙I do it for my team because they lean on me...and it’s my job!
💙I do it for so many of YOU that send me messages about daily inspiration.
So what may have started as a journey to lose 75 pounds FOR ME is no longer about me... But about them.
And you 😘

If you're like me {want to lose 10lbs & have tried EVERYTHING to achieve it}, you probably already know you can get a gym membership and STILL not get to your goal.
I struggled for years with unsuccessful attempts at various gyms {childcare, class times, ACTUALLY going} and finally DISCOVERED the solution was actually REALLY simple. .
Working out at home made me the MOST consistent for these 3 reasons... .
✌️Childcare Is Built In
When I changed my routine and was able to workout from home, I no longer needed childcare so it meant MORE workouts MORE often #winning .
✌️Variety Is The Spice Of Life
I would often get bored at the gym and end up not going as consistently as I planned. With my new program, I have 100’s of options to choose from and I NEVER get bored. Yoga or HIIT training? I can decide 30 seconds before my workout! #gamechanger .
.✌️ Now Or Later?
Rather than feeling like the gym is a "now or never" time of the day, I can do my workout before the kids get up or after they go to bed or when they go to school. I can CHOOSE whatever works best for me THAT day with no SWEAT! #flexibilityrules
.
So if your intuition is going off {**you've been WAITING for a program that doesn't have you signing up for a gym membership you won't use}, drop an emoji and let's chat. ❤️❤️❤️ .

The baby of the house turns 2 😍 we had a lovely family day today 😊
It has been so lovely to see AJ and KC's relationship grow over those 2 years - I hope they'll always be as close 👬
KC is so full of fun - he is mischievous yet shy. Such an affection little man - loves his hugs and kisses ❤
To be a Mom of 2 amazing boys with the most supportive and caring Dad by my side makes me happier than I'd ever imagined possible. I wake up every day so grateful for the family I have 💙👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 #momofboys#3menandalady#birthdayboy#attitudeofgratitude#familyiseverything

I used to ALWAYS fear starting over. 🙈
.
It felt like it was a sign of weakness.
That it was another example of a failed attempt....
That it was proof that I couldn't commit to something and I was destined to be stuck.
.
And that i *was* a failure.
.
But what I didn't realize was that it was this type of mindset (**of fearing commitment & being a perfectionist) that was ACTUALLY holding me back from seeing continued progress.
.
I didn't need to be perfect to progress. I just had to be continually learning and growing because every failed attempt along the way was actually a lesson. And there really was NO final destination (**especially when it comes to my health).
.
There is only continued learning, practice, and lessons that shape us along the way.
.
